Test Drive Meme 006

[voidtreckermods]

Welcome to our Test Drive Meme! Here is the place to see how your character might fit the setting, grab some samples and start having fun!

1. Post with your character. I’ve written out some prompts but feel free to make up your own, you have a whole train to play with!

2. Assume they have been around long enough for threads to jump right into the action!

3. Have much fun!

Happy testing!

Void Trecking

The thing about being on a train hurtling through void space is there’s not much to see. Outside the window lies an endless void of kaleidoscope colours shifting and swirling. It’s probably best not to stare at it too long. Do so and you might start to imagine order in it. Shapes, places, even figures. But your eyes shift... Back to chaos. Probably best you do something else other than stare out the window. Or convince your fellow passengers that void watching leads to headaches!

Relaxing

The newest carriage to be added to the Voidtrecker Express is a rock garden. In a glass domed carriage, flickering with the light of the void the rock garden is a peaceful and medative space, full of mosaics, a pond, fountains and small stony bridges.

It's also the closest to an outside space you have and so is likely to be used for less than peacful activities. Splash in the rivers, race around the paths. Or try and relax on a bench and read amongst the chaos.

Goblin Town

Goblins riding wolves, everyone's favourite foe. The wolves fly, obviously and the goblins fight with short spears, almost like knights on horseback if the knights were terrifying and demonic looking. They are causing trouble by harassing a small village.

Team One

Fight the goblins. A handful of weapons have been provided but mostly you need to try and outsmart the goblins. They can come from any direction, including up. Try and keep the village safe from their attacks.

Team Two

Protect the villagers, help them barricade their houses. Deal with any goblins that get through team one's defences. Some of the villagers want to help and that's alright, some of the villagers want to help and are still in single digits, that's probably less alright. Keep everyone safe!

Team Three

The thing with sieges is, some things still need to happen. People still need to eat. Babies need fed and looked after. Animals need tended. Try and help with the logistics of everything in the heart of the village, as far away from the fighting as possible.

Pick a team, go wild!

Caster grips back on offered hand and is raised to a more standing position. Maybe a bit wobbly, just maybe.

"There is none—?" No high scores of who manages to stare the longest into t h e v o i d before nearing the risk of projectile vomiting? "That means it's time to start one. If I only paid attention to the clock..."

He knocks into the window, but noticeably avoids looking into it.

"In the end, it's the only view that we get here, might as well learn how to enjoy it?"

[cattewhisperer]

There are seats here. Even some in a distance from the window for less temptation. Caster still looks as if he'd be better sitting down.

"I dare not ask what kind of entertainment is popular where you come from if the prospect of losing your dinner over a bet seems enjoyable."

Bayek is not the enemy of fun. He just thinks the type of fun matters. There are better views even on the train. The rock garden is especially pleasing.

[futhark]

Sitting down is a! good!! idea!!! nearest seat is where Caster plops.

"People lost much more than just dinners over bets" In worst cases, even their own heads. Bayek is a man that looks like he got an interesting story to tell, though. "How would people entertain long journeys back where you come from?"

Because that's what it is, kind of. A long, endless journey.

[cattewhisperer]

"Stories, games, dice. None of those make your head swim."

Unless a story happens to be especially gory or disgusting, or certain other circumstances coincide.

"Unless you had too much to drink, that is."

[futhark]

Is staring into the window equivalent here of getting shitfaced? Is there even alcohol on this train??? Not that it matters much, he can't even get smashed for long.

"Drink, huh... I'd take some good ale for that window experience" That kind of head swimming is much more pleasant. "But I take a story. An exchange, what say you?"

[cattewhisperer]

Bayek nods.

"That's fair."

There is a source of alcohol on the train. He was told there is a shop but the train employs no merchants so he's not sure how that operates. It is a kind of sorcery he doesn't understand.

[futhark]

How succinct. If Bayek thinks Caster is going to be the one to start, he's mistaken...

"Tell me of your travels, perhaps about the place furthest away from your home you've visited."

If the man has a home, one could argue— but everyone comes from somewhere, have a starting point.
